1st day at the new job

First day and it was okay...I made it through.  It wasn't as bad as I anticipated.  I spent most of the day in Human Resources filling out paperwork and signing forms.  Had bloodborne pathogens training and a safe driving class.  Pretty boring and nothing to do with what I will be doing.  CPR tomorrow.

My sister sent me flowers!!!  I cried, I was so happy to get them, made me feel so special.

Thank you all for your support.  I'm going to give it my all!!

oh, yea, you got the blah blah blah.  glad you made it through the first day, I know your nerves were getting the best of you.  It will be better as you go.  have FUN !!

Glad you made it through. That is so nice of your sis to be thinking of you like that. Awesome!!

That's great!  I am sure it will get better each day.  So sweet of your sis to send you flowers!  What are you going to be doing at the new job??I must have missed it.

Congrats on your first day!!   Now, I guess it never came up, what are you doing??  bloodborne pathogens??? Sounds icky!!

I'll let Stephanie tell you what she is doing, but when you work in the health field you need to get those things.  most have to be done every year, CPR, blood born, Med tech classes.  Its a pain, but we gotta do them.  I even had a few of those when I work in a factory.  oh, and BLood Born is not gross at all, it just shows you the dangers of handleing blood, and how to take off your gloves, and stuff like that.

I will take your word for it.. But anything to do with blood, icky!!

Stephaine, Glad you had a good first day. How did today go? That was sweet of your sister to send you flowers. What kind did she send you? ~dori~

Guess what I'm doing never did come up.  Those classes Mamag spoke of...I'll be teaching them to people who will be working with individuals with developemental disabilities.  There is now a state mandated training called Direct Support Professional that I will be teaching along with the annual trainings.  The DSP is a 14 part class that was created by the state to certify people who support individuals with disabilities.  Great work and very rewarding...right Mamag??

Today I attended a CPR & First Aid class which I will be teaching in about 4 weeks once I change over from American Heart Association to the American Red Cross. 

Yes, very informative.... I started this work with no background so all the history and fact around our MR clients was all new and so interesting.  I think You will be an awesome teacher.  Will be different teaching a totally different group of people tho, don't you think?  YOu have already taught classes tho, havn't you?  HOpe all is going well.
